Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I played with a test return and the stimulus credit was indeed added to the refund meter  and is removed once the info about how much you already got in advance is entered.   So if you got $1200 and you enter $1200 then the credit of $1200 is adjusted correctly.   The fact that this happens at the very end of the program and changes the posted amount in the Refund-O-Meter by lowering the refund in may cases is unfortunate and confusing to many uneducated users.   Look how the meter drops by the same $3400 that was already received ...
